I tend to visit the forum most days and on each of those days, the first 3 forums that I usually visited were Journe, Patek & Lange.
Today when I logged on, I thought that me eyes were deceiving me, did I really see in very small red writing the word "Closed" were the heck did that come from.I thought!
I would like to add my own piece, I don't pretend to understand the reasoning behind what has happened today, be it financial or political! But I have thoroughly enjoyed my regular visits to the Journe forum. In the 2-3 years that I have been on the forum I have learnt so much, not only about this manufacture, but about many others. But this was one of the three that I regularly visited.
HELL like many dozens of other members, I bought my first and only Journe based on the threads, posts that I read as well as the questions that I posed.
It is a sad,sad day indeed and although I shall continue to visit the forum often, it will not be the same. And dare I say that I will have to visit that other forum more often, to get any news and updates regarding this brand. That is of course unless that one also goes the same way???
It's a crying shame that all the previous posts and hard work of the members had to be sacrificed, can the management perhaps explain to us why this had to happen?
On a personal note. I would like to thank Brad, for ALL his hard work, both on screen and even more so off screen. And congratulations, on getting your Black Label CS............. It may well be the last one that we see for a while, because speaking for myself, I shall not go looking for the threads, which now will be doted all around the HoMe forum.
And to Mr Journe, if you do read this thread and you are anyway involved in what has occurred here today, then I hope you are ashamed of yourself, because it forums like this one and people like me who buy your beautiful creations. And what has happened here today, may well have quite an impact on you in years to come.
